You can either select them manually in the command line:

  smart install ./foo.rpm ./bar.rpm

Add them to a rpm-dir channel and ask smart to upgrade. I used to have
a special directory in my machine where I'd drop local packages once
in a while. It might be a good practice if you find the need to do
so often enough.

Best regards!
